THEY WANT PEACE
But Austria and Russia Are Ready for
War.
Both Sending Troops to Protect
Frontier Points.

The Austrian war Office is taking meas
ures permanently to increase the facili-
lies by which troops can be mob:ized
end TO place Galicia in q better position
for defense. The Prezemysl fortress,
the most important defense.work in the
province, is being surrounded by net
work of railroads, and track has been
added 20 the Hungarian Galioian railroad.
Other Notifications are being erected.
These preparations will enable large
force to be thrown into Galicia at the
shortest notice, No extra force will be
stationed in GaIcia. Emperor Francis
Joseph presided at a military council.
Count Kglnoky, the imperial prime
minister, was also present. It was decld
ed not 10 summon the delegations Tor the
present as Russia has apparently stop
ped her menacing movements. Meas
ures for the mobilization OF troops were
arranged which will be immediately
adopted should Rusaia continue massing
troops on the frontier. The public is
not unduly excited, b1t is resolved to
meet any attack that may be made with
firmness. In leading circles the idea
that Austria intends to give Russia pro
vocation Tor war Is repudlated,
Well informed Russians assert that the
Russian intentions are entirely pacific
and that public opinion in Russia is also
in favor of peace. The prediction of an
approaching conflict between Russia
and Austria are the more unjustihable
after the recent imperial meeting at
Berlin, as the apProaohment then effect
ed can but contribute TO general peace
by involving Austria in a similar pacific
development. The Russian movements
on the frontier consist merely OF the
dispatching thither of division of cav
airy, not with an aggressive idea, but for
the protection of certain localities, The
city of Lubin is exposed TO attack 10y an
enemy, against which prudence recon-
mends that provision he made, in view
of the important military preparations
now proceeding ia Austria.

Honesty and Hanny Homes.

An eminent financial authority, speak
ing of the defalcstion of one of his clerks
made this suggestive remark: "This
clerk was always most exemplary and
com petent, an excellent paying teller,
cool, methodicel and imperturbable. Had
known he had not happy home
would not have kept him as paying
teller. / would not have any man in
such ca pacity who did rot i've happi-
ly at his home"
This is a new principle in domestic
economy, and 1t should be studied with
earnestness and meditation by the thous.
ands of young married people who every
year begin the experiment of founding
happy homes

A. .. Evans lives upon Green noun
tain, says letter from Claremont, N. H.,
and one day his son came across a SOUR
rel and its uest. On investigation he
found three young squirrels with their
eyes not yet opened. Young Evans
robbed the nest and took tee young
rodents home. In the barn lie had a
nest of kittens which had bat recently
been ADMITTED to the light of day. Not
having their eyes open the Ought of day"
was immsterial to them. For the "fun
of the thing" Evans put the squirrels in
the nest with the old cat and kittens.
Strange as il may seem, the cat seemed
20 take kindly to its adopted family and
made room FIR them.
Perfect harmony prevailed, and no
partially was shown. From this time on
the cat permitted the squirrels to nurse,
and when the kittens and the squirrels
eyes were opened they were firm
friends. Grimalkin brought up her fam
lily with unusual care, and one of the fun
niest sights / ever saw was when ! witch
cd the cagers of the brood Fearing
the rodents slight take IL into their heads
to leave, a cage vas built and cat, kittens
and squirrels put in. The yoGng rodents
would throw their arms around the
kittens necks and all would tumble over
in the greatest frolic.
The squirrels were most miscellaneous,
and never seemed to tire of play. When
the kittens we're exhausted they would
attack their "foster mother After per
mitting their eapers TO proceed certain
length, she would administer notherly
rebuff, and then the squirrels would roll
themselves in ball and go to sleep.

One of the toughest youngsters of New
Jersey is Elmer Middleton, aged ID years,
of Masonville. He had been in the habit
of reading all sorts Of bowie-knife litera-
ture to the neglect of his studies, and con
sequently was not looI.sd upon with fay-
or by the teacher, Miss Evelyn Randall,
who found him very difficult subject to
manage. Whenever any of the school
children would offend him he would lie in
wait for them along the roadside and pelt
them with eggs that were in their dotege.
A week ago he threw eat at the preach

sitting in the school-room, was found por-

whereupon he acted in so eontumacious a
manner that the teacher was obliged 10
xpel him. In half-hour he came back
to the school armed with a loaded shot
gun, which he aimed at Miss Randall, at
the same time remarked: "Hold up your
hands or I'll let daylight through you"
A scene of confusion at once occurred.
Some of the children screamed, others
jumped ont of the window, while others
tried to get down cellar. The young ruff
fan was master of the situation, and there
is no knowing what he would have done,

taken the gun away. II is likely that he

The Origin Of the Name Nihilist.
Century.

"The word "Nihilist" was introduced in
Russia by Turgenef, who used it in his
novel Fathers and Children" to describe
acertain. type sof character which had
then recently made its appearance IN the
ranks of the rising generation, and which
he contrasted sharply and effectively with
the prevailing types in the generation
which was passing from the stage. As
applied to Bazarog, the skeptical, mater
ialistlc surgeons son in Turgenefs novel,
the word ''Nihilist" ha[ natural appre
priateness which the Russian public at
once recognized. There were differences
of opinion as TO the question whether
any such class as that Represented by
Bazarog really existed, but there was no
difference of opinion with regard to the
appropriateness of the term as applied
to that particular character. 1t was &C.
curately descriptive of the type. The
word $Nihilist," however, was soon caught
up by the conservatives and by the Gov
ernOent, and was applied indiscrimipate-
~ by them as an opprobrious and dis
crediting nick name TO all persons who
not satisfied with the existing order of
things, and who sought, by any active
method whatever, to bring about changes
in Russian o,ial and political organiza-
tfon.
